There were cars in the BMW range which were worked on by M -- X5 4.6is/4.8is and 850CSi -- but never got the M badge.

Some models sold in Asia (which were also sold here) came with the M badge. These were the M Sport models (i.e., 318i M Sport, 325i M Sport, etc.) which came with the body kit, M wheels, sports seats, anthracite headlining, M steering wheel, etc.
